Saku Ski Garden PARADA

Resort features

Great location! Japan's only ski resort directly connected to a highway! The rate of sunny weather is at 90%! Easy access even if you are not good with snowy roads! Recommended for families and beginners as there are plenty of school lessons available! After enjoying skiing and snowboarding, refresh yourself at Miharashi-no-Yu, a day-trip hot spring with a natural open-air bath!
The only ski resort in Japan directly connected to a highway! Approximately 90 minutes from Kan-etsu Expressway Nerima Interchange, and approximately 5 minutes by car from Sakudaira Smart Interchange to the main North PARADA! Excellent access, and your car does not need snow chains for most of the roads. PARADA has a high rate of sunny weather rate of 90% throughout the season, and 80% of the slopes are beginner to intermediate levels, so it can be enjoyed by children, beginners, and the entire family. This season, a new indoor kids' land opens at North PARADA Kids' Land! The sledding slope has also been greatly expanded, making it more satisfying for families with small children than ever before!
In addition, a new ski and snowboarding slope for beginners working on riding the lift is now open for customers! You can easily get in practice runs using the moving belt to get up the slope.
Check the website for details! In addition, we have new desserts every year! PARADA is going to be amazing again this year, including the renewal of the candy corner!！
